Fortunately for me, i was only a social smoker. Any time i drunk alcohol i smoked but some how this never transferred over as a regular habit. I dont think i ever got addicted but it was still hard for me to enter a bar and not get cigarettes..(ex girl friend said it was a some psychological tick)

Any way, i vowed to quit, bought a pack, lit about 6 cigarettes in my living room and laid them on ash trays. (i didnt smoke any one of them)...before the last one was fizzled out, i was sick of the smoke to my stomach...Never smoked again and i have a rabid hatred for tobacco!!!!

Smoking is a very difficult habit to break. Fortunately, I have never started, but being around those that have I see the troubles they go through trying to quit.

The price alone is mind boggling...I will never understand the attraction in the first place ...

Take the money you would spend on a pack of cigs a day, multiply it times 365, plus 20 years then put that into Altria stock instead.

I think it's more mental than physical. If im not around cigs or people smoking i don't need one. But once my friend stops by and offers a cig... it's like .. why not. And then the pack is gone. I got a pack of Newports yesterday at about 7pm... it was done by 1am. Maybe gave 5 cigs to my friend and rest i smoked. I just suprise myself because before i picked up the habbit i was like who da hell can smoke a pack a day.. that's insane! But it's not hard at all.

That is true. Alcohol and smoking are on the top of the list for being the most addictive.
